I'm hardly an expert on T&R value, but that seems like an excellent price to me. The knobs have been replaced, but you can get new Cosmo knobs (which are identical replacements for the originals) for about 2 bucks or less each. There was a thread here recently where someone found a source for them at an excellent price in small quantities.
I love the speakers with the black vent in the center, too, even though the Altecs and JBLs are probably better sounding.
Looks like it does have some miles on it, but not too bad. YOu can't see the handles - the seller may have purposely not taken any side shots. Repro handles can be had, too, but I think they're pricier, like about 20 bucks each.
IF you like that color, and IF you're ok with a 4-channel head (just fine for guitar or bass, BTW), and IF you're not looking for a pristine specimen, I'd say go for it!

If they are calling it champagne, it is probably silver that has yellowed with age. The colors usually don't fade, they get stained from cigarette smoke in bars and clubs. In SOME cases, it can be cleaned and the color MAY come back. I got a Gold amp that was filthy and it cleaned up quite nicely. Armorall works well. Start with Dawn dish soap in water, use a stiff bristled brush and clean all of the seams vigorously and the T&R. Then wipe it all down, and use Armorall to brighten it and give it a nice shine. Only drawback, the Naugahyde will become slippery after the Armorall is applied. Just don't stop quickly while pushing it fast down a hill.
